Last day Novi Sad

Due to not feeling the full ticket over the last few days, I have had a slow, lazy day. I hope my body will appreciate the rest!
I spent most of the morning planning the next part of my route. I was intending to go Belgrade, Nis, Sofia. Instead I have opted for one train tomorrow, from Novi Sad to Podgorica in Montenegro. The other route involved trains, and a bus, and travelling for ages. Once I had booked the train, I booked the bus to Durres in Albania and a ferry from there to Bari in Italy. I shall do an overnight in Podgorica. I tried to book a taxi, but they don't have that sort of system. You have to call 10 mins before you need the taxi. I couldn't get my phone to make a call. I went down the road, to where I thought I had seen a taxi rank, and using Google translate confirmed that I could rock up in the morningcand be taken to the train station.
I decided to visit the Contemporary Art Museum again to see if it was open. It was. Really weird. In the basement all around the walls paintings, photos etc., of deer. That's all. Upstairs was a work in progress, but there was an exhibition about the history of Serbia Croatia and Hungary. Not much in English, but enough to get the gist along with many harrowing pictures of war crimes!
Not what I expected. At the far end of this floor was a mess. There were,
however, a few paintings waiting to be hung and one or two already hung. You will see in the pics.
Wandered round the little streets and the public garden and then came back. Wasted day really, but better to rest. I had seen all the interesting bits already.
Shower tonight and packing ready for a quick getaway in the morning.

What I forgot to say yesterday that my feet were so cross that I soaked them in very hot water, one at a time, in a big saucepan! Worked really well.🙂
The photo of the traditional dress was taken in one of the little streets. All handmade and Yugoslavian, not Serbian, so pretty old.
In the video at the end I finally managed to get the sound of the bells from the Orthodox Cathedral.Leggi altro
